Drug Trafficking Lawyer in College Station,Texas

Seek Experienced Representation from Our Committed Legal Team

Anti-drug trafficking efforts are significantly intensified in Texas, where
it’s bordering neighbor country, Mexico, has been the main source
for importation and delivery for many illegal substances. According to
the Justice Department, around $18 billion to $39 billion is made each
year from drug sales in the United States by the Mexican and Colombian
cartels. Cartels also operated in 1,286 U.S. cities in 2009 to 2010, five
times more than the total reported in 2008.

Since the nation’s anti-drug trafficking agenda has been a top priority
for federal law enforcement agencies, convictions and wrongful arrests
are quite common and the associated punishments are severely harsh and
unforgiving.
